Researcher of Turkish Historical Society: “Armenians are creating false facts”
12:14 / 21.11.2009 “Armenian side shows unlimited self-confidence”, -said Kamal Chichek, head of the Armenian Research Desk at the Turkish Historical Society during a panel discussions at the Turkish House in Washington DC, on November 20th. The event was held by the Assembly of Turkish American Organizations (ATAA) in order to discuss the Turkish-Armenian relations, APA correspondent in Washington reports. Kamal Chichek said despite the Zürich agreement (which are supposed to make the relationship between the two countries better), the Armenian Diaspora in the US is trying to raise the genocide issue in Congress again. The Turkish Diaspora is concerned about that. This matter will be discussed in the beginning of December during prime-minister Erdogan’s visit to US.
Chichek says that Armenians are creating false facts. Answering to APA’s question, head of the Armenian Research Desk at the Turkish Historical Society stresses that the Turkish side believes that the joint historical commission will dig out the truth.
“It will be good opportunity. Armenians will see that the documents which they read are not correct. Their arguments are not strong. For example, recently Armenians quoted Talat Pasha’s telegram where according to Armenians he said that genocide really happened. But there is no such a telegram in reality. If we create a joint commission Turkish side can provide to Armenian side all of telegrams written by Talat Pasha” –said Turkish representative.
The participants of the panel also mentioned that while investigating the history, people mustn’t forget such recent events as the massacre in Khojali.
